Hulk Hogan has claimed he was the catalyst for wrestlers getting entrance music in WWE.

Hogan recently appeared on Try That in a Small Town Podcast to talk about his journey from an aspiring rock star to one of pro wrestling’s greatest attractions.

During the conversation, the multi-time Hall of Famer claimed he was denied entrance music for his career-defining MSG bout against the Iron Sheik by the WWE. However, Hogan says he pushed it through by paying a production guy to play “Eye of the Tiger” for his entrance.

“The cool thing about it was they told me no music,” Hogan said. “So I went to the sound guy and said, ‘The hell with this.’ [I get] ‘Eye of the Tiger’ cranking. I gave him 500 bucks. And when that music started, that dump, dump, dump, dump, the roof of the place blew off.


“Then I told Vince, ‘Man, I’ve been selling merchandise, T-shirts and headbands and hats and koozies and wristbands and making a ton of money doing it because nobody else is the man.’ Vince picked up on it real quick and it just took off. And then everybody wanted entrance music. So Jimmy Hart sat up all night, most nights, writing entrance music for all the wrestlers.”

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan once asserted that he was responsible for teaching Vince McMahon everything he knew about the professional wrestling industry.

In a 2009 interview with CityPages.com, later cited by SEScoops.com, Hogan claimed that following McMahon’s purchase of the then-WWF from his father in 1982, he played a crucial role in educating him about the business.

"I moved in next door to him in Connecticut and taught him all about lifting weights and riding motorcycles and partying like a madman. And then I taught him about the wrestling business and making money."

Hogan’s comments suggest that WWF’s rise to prominence was influenced by his guidance of McMahon in the company’s early years. Throughout the 1980s, McMahon revolutionised the industry, turning WWF into a global entertainment juggernaut, with Hogan as its top star.
